The inaugural Barchester Big Quiz of the Year took place on 9 January when Moors Manor staff and residents took on their sister homes from all over the country to find out which Barchester home or hospital had the best quizzers.

From historical humdingers and musical musings to pictorial puzzlers and connective conundrums, the homes battled it out to find out who would prevail.

General manager, Gemma Chalkley said: “We’ve got some excellent quizzers at our home, we are very competitive – our residents love taking part in anything where winning is involved and collectively their general knowledge is pretty phenomenal!”

Marianne Timberlake, resident at Moors Manor Care Home said: “It has been a lovely afternoon. It was wonderful to see everyone in all the other homes joining in. I really enjoyed getting together with my fellow residents to take on the other homes – it is amazing how competitive everyone gets!”

The winning team is still being worked out from all the entries.

Moors Manor Care Home is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers. Moors Manor provides residential care, dementia care and respite care.
